Yes...I'd be concerned...
though I've seen memtest pass RAM that ended up being bad...
I've never seen it the otherway...but you may want to try another utility.

I'm getting memory errors reported with some corsair XMS Twinx2048-3200c2.
With the motherboard settings at default (mostly AUTO), memtest86 says
there are errors in the moving inversions test (test 3). There are also
errors reported in following tests. I've tried bumping the voltage as far
as 2.8V and I've played with the buss speed to try and eliminate them,
without success. Dropping the voltage to minimum and setting the buss
speed to 230MHz didn't increase the number of errors reported though. I've
also dropped the memory buss multiplier lower, lowered the CAS timing all
the way to 4, reseated them and said a couple hail marries. Are the errors
something I should be worried about? I've had the system running for a
couple days and haven't 'noticed' any problems. It's just that I can't see
DFI including a test that's useless or flawed.

Yes I've ran both when I had problems with a duff strip of Kingston and OCZ
not beleiving the OCZ could be faulty. Both indicated faults and this was
confirmed when both manufacturers returned new memory which tested good with
both utilities.

Thanks! I added that one to my links list. I got an RMA from newegg this
morning. One of the RAM sticks is bad. I can test them separately in the
same slot and one will pass memtest86. Been running Prime95 for the last 5
hours at 220 buss without errors. Hope the next pair I get work as good as
this single stick.
